Hi,

If your dogs' farts are that offensive, it might be worth looking at what you're feeding them.  Often the well-known brands which feature heavily on TV advertising and are packaged in the boldest colours, at eye-level on supermarket shelves are full of very poor quality ingredients, which will make your dog flatulent and keen to search out something better from your camp kitchen.  We feed our dogs Naturediet and that keeps both 'wind' and scavenging down to a bare minimum, so we can comfortably share our sleeping pod with them.  I wouldn't fancy bedding down with a dog fed Bakers, Pedigree, Beta, Wag or similar brands   Hope this helps!

Cheers fluffydog

We have been working on his diet and he has definatley improved in the flatulence area, though like everyone else he has moments when he can empty a room .

I'm not sure we'll have the same quick success with the scavenging - I know a few people who own black labs and it seems a common feature.

Excellent advice.

My boy used to unleash guffs of such awesome toxicity we expected a visit from the UN weapons inspectors - I'm sure they came under the category of biological warfare. For unrelated reasons (itchiness), the breeder recommended trying him on a food for working dogs, with a lower protein content.

Not only did it stop him scratching, his weapons of mass destruction became a very rare event.

My wife had the same problem until i changed her diet to a low protein one. The farts are no longer offensive, and she's stopped draging her arse along the ground scratching it!. This practice used to cause some embarasment on sites.

Pmsl! I hope she reads this and gives you what for.
